Methods: This randomized, double-blind, placebo-controlled, parallel-group study included 100 healthy male and female adults aged 20 - 64 years. Participants consumed either the G. hansenii GK-1 supplement (9 × 10⁹ cells/day) or a placebo daily for 12 weeks. The impact of temporary mental stress on fatigue in G. hansenii GK-1 was assessed using a Visual Analog Scale (VAS) before the study began and after 12 weeks of supplementation. Results: Subjective fatigue measured by Visual Analog Scale (VAS) showed a significant decrease in fatigue induced by temporary mental stress after 12 weeks of consumption in the G. hansenii GK-1 group compared with the placebo group. No adverse events were attributed to G. hansenii GK-1. These findings confirm that continuous oral ingestion of G. hansenii GK-1 by healthy Japanese adults reduces feelings of fatigue caused by temporary mental stress.展开更多

We evaluated the microvascular(MV) and mucosal surface(MS) patterns of depressed-type EGCs using magnifying endoscopy(ME) with narrow-band imaging(NBI)(NBI-ME) and ME enhanced by 1.5% acetic acid, respectively. First, depressed-type EGCs were classified according to MV pattern by NBI-ME. Subsequently, EGCs unclassified by MV pattern were classified according to MS pattern by enhanced ME(EME) images obtained from the same angle.RESULTS: We classified the depressed-type EGCs into the following 2 MV patterns using NBI-ME: a fine-network pattern that indicated differentiated adenocarcinoma(25/25, 100%) and a corkscrew pattern that likely indicated undifferentiated adenocarcinoma(18/23, 78.3%). However, 42 of the 90(46.7%) lesions could not be classified into MV patterns by NBI-ME. These unclassified lesions were then evaluated for MS patterns using EME, which classified 33(81.0%) lesions as MS patterns, diagnosed as differentiated adenocarcinoma. As a result, 76 of the 90(84.4%) lesions were matched with histological diagnoses using a combination of NBI-ME and EME.CONCLUSION: A combination of NBI-ME and EME was useful in predicting the histological type of depressedtype EGC.展开更多

METHODS Rats with acetic acid induced gastric ulcer were treated with Danshen and cimetidine for 30 days. Traditional gastric mucosal auto radiography and 3H TdR incorporation into gastric mucosa in vitro were employed to study the effects of Danshen in rat acetic acid induced chronic gastric ulcer, including ulcer index (UI), ulcer inhibitory rate (IR) and label rate (LR). RESULTS On the day 5, 30 and 126 of ulcer making, the UI in the Danshen group was obviously lower than that in the cimetidine group and the control group (42 3±3 9, 3 6±1 2, 4 4±2 3; 49 1±3 6, 5 9±1 4, 9 2±1 3; 61 0±3 8, 8 9±2 5, 12 4±2 4, respectively, P <0 01), the IR (%) in the Danshen group was obviously higher than that in the cimetidine group (31, 59, 64 8; 19, 33, 26, respectively), and the LR in the Danshen group was obviously higher than that in the cimetidine group and the control group (10 0±0 5, 16 2±0 8, 15 0±0 6; 9 0±0 5, 13 9±0 6, 10 8±0 7; 6 5±0 7, 10 1±0 5, 8 0±0 7, respectively, P <0 01). There was no obvious difference in UI in the Danshen group on day 30 as compared with that on day 126. CONCLUSION Danshen is effective in promoting ulcer healing and preventing recurrence. The mechanism of action is to strengthen the gastric mucosal barrier and to promote the gastric mucosal cell proliferation along the edge of the ulcer.展开更多

In the present study, the effect of ginger （rhizome of Zingiber officinale Roscoe） volatile oil on a rat model of colitis was evaluated. METHODS： Volatile oil of ginger with doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, prednisolone （4 mg/kg）, or vehicle were administered orally to groups of male Wistar rats （n = 6） for 5 d. Animals were randomly divided into 6 groups, each group consisting of 6 rats. Colitis was induced by intracolonic instillation of 2 mL of 4% （v/v） acetic acid solution. All rats were sacrificed 24 h later and the tissue injuries were assessed macroscopically and histopathologically. RESULTS： Ginger volatile oil with all doses reduced colon weight/length ratio （P 〈 0.01） and the effects were similar to the reference drugs. Higher oral doses of volatile oil （200 and 400 mg/kg） reduced ulcer severity （P 〈 0.05 and P 〈 0.01）, ulcer area （P 〈 0.01） and ulcer index （P 〈 0.01）. On the other hand, evaluation of microscopic scores showed that the dose of 400 mg/kg of volatile oil was effective to reduce inflammation severity （P 〈 0.01） and inflammation extent （P 〈 0.05） compared to the control group. CONCLUSION： It is concluded that ginger volatile oil could effectively reduce symptoms of experimental colitis in a dose-dependent manner.展开更多

The effect of the structure of the supports on the activity of Ru catalysts was investigated in the catalytic wet air oxidation （CWAO） of acetic acid under 230℃ and 5 MPa in a batch reactor. Physical properties including the surface area, crystalline phase, and surface components of the Ru catalysts were characterized by N 2 adsorption, X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The CeO 2 -based Ru catalysts had good activity, and the prepared RuO 2 /CeO 2 catalyst showed markedly higher activity than the RuO 2 /CeO 2 -TiO 2 catalyst. The surface structure, the high amount of chemisorbed oxygen on the catalyst surface, and the suitable pH pzc value of the supports played an important role in the activity of the Ru catalysts in CWAO of acetic acid.展开更多

The separation mechanism was analyzed through infrared spectra technique. Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101.33 kPa for the binary or ternary systems consisting of water, acetic acid and tributylamine were measured. The activity coefficients were correlated by using Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC Equations.The VLE experiment showed that tributylamine could enhance the relative volatility of water to acetic acid. An extractive distillation experiment was carried out and proved that tributylamine was a good extractive solvent.展开更多

It has been found that by increasing the acetic acid/CeCl3·7H2O molar ratio, high uniform and crack-free films with well-developed grains were obtained and grain sizes of the films decreased. Elimination of cracks and decreasing grain size of the nano cerium oxide films caused corrosion resistance to increase.展开更多

However, the potential of endophytes within these bio-prospective medicinal plants remains unknown. The present study elucidates the endophytic diversity of medicinal plants（Caralluma acutangula, Rhazya stricta, and Moringa peregrina） and the endophyte role in seed growth and oxidative stress. Various organs of medicinal plants yielded ten endophytes, which were identified as Phoma sp.（6 isolates）, Alternaria sp.（2）, Bipolaris sp.（1）, and Cladosporium sp.（1） based on 18 S rD NA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The culture filtrates（CFs; 25%, 50%, and 100% concentrations） from these endophytes were tested against the growth of normal and dwarf mutant rice lines. Endophytic CF exhibited dose-dependent growth stimulation and suppression effects. CF（100%） of Phoma sp. significantly increased rice seed germination and growth compared to controls and other endophytes. This growth-promoting effect was due to the presence of indole acetic acid in endophytic CF. The gas chromatography/mass spectrometry（GC/MS） analysis showed the highest indole acetic acid content（（54.31±0.21） μmol/L） in Bipolaris sp. In addition, the isolate of Bipolaris sp. exhibited significantly higher radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidation activity than the other isolates. Bipolaris sp. and Phoma sp. also exhibited significantly higher flavonoid and phenolic contents. The medicinal plants exhibited the presence of bio-prospective endophytic strains, which could be used for the improvement of crop growth and the mitigation of oxidative stresses.展开更多

文摘Mo_(2)CT_(x)MXene is a novel two-dimensional material,which is generally made by the etching of inorganic acid solutions,such as hydrofluoric acid(HF)or hydrochloric acid(HCl).Those solutions are always corrosive and hazardous.In this paper,a mild organic acid,acetic acid(CH_(3)COOH),was selected to synthesize Mo_(2)CT_(x)MXene.30 mL acetic acid(HAc)with the concentration of 13 mol/L was mixed with 2 g acetate(CH_(3)COONa or CH_(3)COOK)and 10 mL water to make etching solution(NaAc+HAc or KAc+HAc).In the solution,the concentration of CH_(3)COO^(-)was 10 mol/L,the concentration of Na^(+)/K^(+)is 0.6/0.5 mol/L.The pH value is 2.8.Mo_(2)CT_(x)was obtained by hydrothermal etching at 240℃for 1 d.Compared with the general method of HF etching,the etchant is milder and the etching process is safer.On the surface of Mo_(2)CT_(x)nanosheet made by this method,acetate group(CH_(3)COO^(-))was adsorbed as termination,which is larger than the F/O/OH termination of that made by general HF etching.The lattice parameter c(LP c)of Mo_(2)CT_(x)etched with NaAc+HAc/KAc+HAc is 21.09Å/20.89Å.Moreover,the specific surface areas of the samples etched by NaAc+HAc and KAc+HAc were 18.1 m^(2)/g and 14.1 m^(2)/g,respectively,which were much larger than those etched by conventional methods.As the anode of lithium-ion battery,the specific capacity under current density of 100 mA/g at 100 th cycle was 108 mA·h/g,which is higher than the capacity of samples made by general HF etching.This work reports a novel method to make Mo_(2)CT_(x)MXene by the solution of mild acetic acid.The samples made by this method had very high specific surface area and relatively high lithium-storage performance.

文摘Real-time detection of acetic acid vapor is of concern for ensuring environmental and personal safety.However,acetic acid gas sensors,particularly those based on Bi_(2)O_(3),often fail to meet practical performance requirements owing to their slow response characteristics and high operating temperature.To enhance sensing performance,highly permeable Bi_(2)O_(3)microspheres decorated by Pt-nanoparticles are rationally synthesized by a facile template method.Among the fabricated sensors,the one based on 3 wt%Pt-decorated Bi_(2)O_(3)demonstrated excellent sensing performance.Specifically,the sensor displayed high selectivity for acetic acid,rapid response and recovery times(22.5 and 9 s,respectively),strong resistance to interference,and good long-term stability at a low operating temperature(150℃).Notably,the sensor exhibited an exceptionally high response of 126 to 100 ppm acetic acid—the highest reported value for Bi_(2)O_(3)-based sensors tested at a relatively low operating temperature in recent years.These results demonstrate that Pt-decorated Bi_(2)O_(3)holds strong potential for use in high-performance acetic acid sensors.

文摘AIM: To determine whether the endoscopic findings of depressed-type early gastric cancers(EGCs) could precisely predict the histological type.METHODS: Ninety depressed-type EGCs in 72 patients were macroscopically and histologically identified. We evaluated the microvascular(MV) and mucosal surface(MS) patterns of depressed-type EGCs using magnifying endoscopy(ME) with narrow-band imaging(NBI)(NBI-ME) and ME enhanced by 1.5% acetic acid, respectively. First, depressed-type EGCs were classified according to MV pattern by NBI-ME. Subsequently, EGCs unclassified by MV pattern were classified according to MS pattern by enhanced ME(EME) images obtained from the same angle.RESULTS: We classified the depressed-type EGCs into the following 2 MV patterns using NBI-ME: a fine-network pattern that indicated differentiated adenocarcinoma(25/25, 100%) and a corkscrew pattern that likely indicated undifferentiated adenocarcinoma(18/23, 78.3%). However, 42 of the 90(46.7%) lesions could not be classified into MV patterns by NBI-ME. These unclassified lesions were then evaluated for MS patterns using EME, which classified 33(81.0%) lesions as MS patterns, diagnosed as differentiated adenocarcinoma. As a result, 76 of the 90(84.4%) lesions were matched with histological diagnoses using a combination of NBI-ME and EME.CONCLUSION: A combination of NBI-ME and EME was useful in predicting the histological type of depressedtype EGC.

文摘AIM To study the short term effect of Danshen ( Salvia miltiorrhiza ) on acetic acid induced chronic gastric ulcer in rats and its long term effect in preventing recurrence. METHODS Rats with acetic acid induced gastric ulcer were treated with Danshen and cimetidine for 30 days. Traditional gastric mucosal auto radiography and 3H TdR incorporation into gastric mucosa in vitro were employed to study the effects of Danshen in rat acetic acid induced chronic gastric ulcer, including ulcer index (UI), ulcer inhibitory rate (IR) and label rate (LR). RESULTS On the day 5, 30 and 126 of ulcer making, the UI in the Danshen group was obviously lower than that in the cimetidine group and the control group (42 3±3 9, 3 6±1 2, 4 4±2 3; 49 1±3 6, 5 9±1 4, 9 2±1 3; 61 0±3 8, 8 9±2 5, 12 4±2 4, respectively, P <0 01), the IR (%) in the Danshen group was obviously higher than that in the cimetidine group (31, 59, 64 8; 19, 33, 26, respectively), and the LR in the Danshen group was obviously higher than that in the cimetidine group and the control group (10 0±0 5, 16 2±0 8, 15 0±0 6; 9 0±0 5, 13 9±0 6, 10 8±0 7; 6 5±0 7, 10 1±0 5, 8 0±0 7, respectively, P <0 01). There was no obvious difference in UI in the Danshen group on day 30 as compared with that on day 126. CONCLUSION Danshen is effective in promoting ulcer healing and preventing recurrence. The mechanism of action is to strengthen the gastric mucosal barrier and to promote the gastric mucosal cell proliferation along the edge of the ulcer.
文摘OBJECTIVE： Ulcerative colitis is a chronically recurrent inflammatory bowel disease of unknown origin. In the present study, the effect of ginger （rhizome of Zingiber officinale Roscoe） volatile oil on a rat model of colitis was evaluated. METHODS： Volatile oil of ginger with doses of 100, 200, and 400 mg/kg, prednisolone （4 mg/kg）, or vehicle were administered orally to groups of male Wistar rats （n = 6） for 5 d. Animals were randomly divided into 6 groups, each group consisting of 6 rats. Colitis was induced by intracolonic instillation of 2 mL of 4% （v/v） acetic acid solution. All rats were sacrificed 24 h later and the tissue injuries were assessed macroscopically and histopathologically. RESULTS： Ginger volatile oil with all doses reduced colon weight/length ratio （P 〈 0.01） and the effects were similar to the reference drugs. Higher oral doses of volatile oil （200 and 400 mg/kg） reduced ulcer severity （P 〈 0.05 and P 〈 0.01）, ulcer area （P 〈 0.01） and ulcer index （P 〈 0.01）. On the other hand, evaluation of microscopic scores showed that the dose of 400 mg/kg of volatile oil was effective to reduce inflammation severity （P 〈 0.01） and inflammation extent （P 〈 0.05） compared to the control group. CONCLUSION： It is concluded that ginger volatile oil could effectively reduce symptoms of experimental colitis in a dose-dependent manner.

文摘The oxidative desulfurization of a real refinery feedstock (i.e.,non-hydrotreated kerosene with total sulfur mass content of 0.16%) with a mixture of hydrogen peroxide and acetic acid was studied.The influences of various operating parameters including reaction temperature (T),acid to sulfur molar ratio (nacid/nS),and oxidant to sulfur molar ratio (nO/nS) on the sulfur removal of kerosene were investigated.The results revealed that an increase in the reaction temperature (T) and nacid/nS enhances the sulfur removal.Moreover,there is an optimum nO/nS related to the reaction temperature and the best sulfur removal could be obtained at nO/nS=8 and 23 for the reaction temperatures of 25 and 60°C,respectively.The maximum observed sulfur removal in the present oxidative desulfurization system was 83.3%.

文摘Ru catalysts, supported on TiO 2 , CeO 2 , and CeO 2 -TiO 2 , were prepared by the impregnation method. The effect of the structure of the supports on the activity of Ru catalysts was investigated in the catalytic wet air oxidation （CWAO） of acetic acid under 230℃ and 5 MPa in a batch reactor. Physical properties including the surface area, crystalline phase, and surface components of the Ru catalysts were characterized by N 2 adsorption, X-ray powder diffraction （XRD）, and X-ray photoelectron spectroscopy （XPS）. The CeO 2 -based Ru catalysts had good activity, and the prepared RuO 2 /CeO 2 catalyst showed markedly higher activity than the RuO 2 /CeO 2 -TiO 2 catalyst. The surface structure, the high amount of chemisorbed oxygen on the catalyst surface, and the suitable pH pzc value of the supports played an important role in the activity of the Ru catalysts in CWAO of acetic acid.
文摘A new separation method, reactive extractive distillation, was put forward for separating water and acetic acid. The separation mechanism was analyzed through infrared spectra technique. Isobaric vapor-liquid equilibrium (VLE) data at 101.33 kPa for the binary or ternary systems consisting of water, acetic acid and tributylamine were measured. The activity coefficients were correlated by using Wilson, NRTL, and UNIQUAC Equations.The VLE experiment showed that tributylamine could enhance the relative volatility of water to acetic acid. An extractive distillation experiment was carried out and proved that tributylamine was a good extractive solvent.
文摘MIL-53(Fe)was synthesized using a“modulator approach”that utilizes acetic acid(HAc)as an additive to control the size and morphology of the resulting crystals.We demonstrate that after activation under vaccum at 100℃,the MIL-53(Fe)functions well for H2S selective oxidation.The introduction of acetic acid in the presence of benzene-1,4-dicarboxylic acid(H2BDC)would result in a series of MIL-53(Fe)nanocrystals(denoted as MIL-53(Fe)-xH,x stands for the volume of added HAc with morphology evoluting from irregular particles to short hexagonal columns.The vacuum treatment facilitates the removal of acetate groups,thus generating Fe3+Lewis acid sites.Consequently,the resulted MIL-53(Fe)-xH exhibits good catalytic activity(98%H2S conversion and 92%sulfur selectivity)at moderate reaction temperatures(100–190℃).The MIL-53(Fe)-5H is superior to the traditional iron-based catalysts,showing stable performance in a test period of 55 h.

文摘The vapor-liquid equilibrium data of four binary systems(acetic acid+p-xylene,methyl acetate+n-propyl acetate,n-propyl acetate+p-xylene and methyl acetate+p-xylene)are measured at 101.33 kPa with Ellis equilibrium still,and then both the NRTL and UNIQUAC models are used in combination with the HOC model for correlating and estimating the vapor-liquid equilibrium of these four binary systems.The estimated binary VLE results using correlated parameters agree well with the measured data except the methyl acetate+p-xylene system which easily causes bumping and liquid rushing out of the sampling tap due to their dramatically different boiling points.The correlation results by NRTL and UNIQUAC models have little difference on the average absolute deviations of temperature and composition of vapor phase,and the results by NRTL model are slightly better than those by UNIQUAC model except for the methyl acetate+n-propyl acetate system,for which the latter gives more accurate correlations.
文摘In present work,liquid phase esterification of acetic acid with ethanol over dodecatungestophosphoric acid （DTPA） supported on K10 montmorillonite was systematically studied and optimization of process parameters was carried out.The 20% m/m DTPA/K10 was found to be the optimum catalyst with 90% acetic acid conversion and 100% ethyl acetate selectivity.The study was also explored to see the feasibility of 20% m/m DTPA/K10 as a catalyst for the alkylation of acetic acid with other alcohols like methanol,iso-propanol and n-butanol.The 20% m/m DTPA/K10 has shown increased activity with the increase in carbon number,at the same alcohol reflux.The results are novel.
文摘Nano cerium oxide films were applied on AA7020-T6 aluminum alloy and the effects of acetic acid concentration on the microstructure and electrochemical properties of the coated samples were investigated by using scanning electron microscopy （SEM）, X-ray diffraction （XRD）, and potentiodynamic polarization methods. It has been found that by increasing the acetic acid/CeCl3·7H2O molar ratio, high uniform and crack-free films with well-developed grains were obtained and grain sizes of the films decreased. Elimination of cracks and decreasing grain size of the nano cerium oxide films caused corrosion resistance to increase.

文摘Medicinal plants have been used by marginal communities to treat various ailments. However, the potential of endophytes within these bio-prospective medicinal plants remains unknown. The present study elucidates the endophytic diversity of medicinal plants（Caralluma acutangula, Rhazya stricta, and Moringa peregrina） and the endophyte role in seed growth and oxidative stress. Various organs of medicinal plants yielded ten endophytes, which were identified as Phoma sp.（6 isolates）, Alternaria sp.（2）, Bipolaris sp.（1）, and Cladosporium sp.（1） based on 18 S rD NA sequencing and phylogenetic analysis. The culture filtrates（CFs; 25%, 50%, and 100% concentrations） from these endophytes were tested against the growth of normal and dwarf mutant rice lines. Endophytic CF exhibited dose-dependent growth stimulation and suppression effects. CF（100%） of Phoma sp. significantly increased rice seed germination and growth compared to controls and other endophytes. This growth-promoting effect was due to the presence of indole acetic acid in endophytic CF. The gas chromatography/mass spectrometry（GC/MS） analysis showed the highest indole acetic acid content（（54.31±0.21） μmol/L） in Bipolaris sp. In addition, the isolate of Bipolaris sp. exhibited significantly higher radical scavenging and anti-lipid peroxidation activity than the other isolates. Bipolaris sp. and Phoma sp. also exhibited significantly higher flavonoid and phenolic contents. The medicinal plants exhibited the presence of bio-prospective endophytic strains, which could be used for the improvement of crop growth and the mitigation of oxidative stresses.

文摘The influence of barium addition to a Ni/Al2O3 catalyst on the reaction intermediates formed,the activity,resistance of the catalyst to coking,and properties of the coke formed after acetic acid steam reforming were investigated in this study.The results showed the drastic effects of barium addition on the physicochemical properties and performances of the catalyst.The solid-phase reaction between alumina and BaO formed BaAl2O4,which re-constructed the alumina structure,resulting in a decrease in the specific surface area and an increase in the resistance of metallic Ni to sintering.The addition of barium was also beneficial for enhancing the catalytic activity,resulting from the changed catalytic reaction network.The in-situ diffuse reflectance infrared Fourier transform spectroscopy (DRIFTS) study of the acetic acid steam reforming indicated that barium could effectively suppress the accumulation of the reaction intermediates of carbonyl,formate,and C=C functional groups on the catalyst surface,attributed to its relatively high ability to cause the gasification of these species.In addition,coking was considerably more significant over the Ba-Ni/Al2O3 catalyst.Moreover,the Ba-Ni/Al2O3 catalyst was more stable than the Ni/Al2O3catalyst,owing to the distinct forms of coke formed (carbon nanotube form over the Ba-Ni/Al2O3 catalyst,and the amorphous form over the Ni/Al2O3 catalyst).
